Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole milk or milk of choice. Any dairy or non-dairy milk will work great for this recipe!
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or more milk
  • 2 tbsp apple syrup homemade or store-bought
  • 1 tbsp caramel sauce or caramel syrup
  • 1 tbsp instant coffee + 3 tbsp hot water OR 1/4 cup of strong hot coffee OR 2 shots of hot espresso
  • whipped cream + ground cinnamon for serving optional

Instructions
 

  • Place the milk and heavy cream in a small saucepan, and heat over medium-low heat. Add the caramel sauce and apple syrup and whisk to combine
  • Continue to cook the mixture whisking often until the milk is hot and small bubbles appear around the edge of the pan. Remove the pan from the heat, then prepare your coffee/espresso.
  • Combine the instant coffee and hot water in a mug and stir until the coffee is completely dissolved. Be sure to use very hot water to help ensure your finished latte stays hot.
  • Pour the hot caramel apple milk mixture into the coffee, and stir to combine. 
  • Top with whipped cream and cinnamon if desired.  Enjoy! 
  • If you like you can also make this recipe as an iced latte! To do so prepare your coffee/espresso, then add the caramel sauce and apple syrup to the hot coffee and stir until the caramel is melted. 
  • Fill a large glass to the top with ice, and pour the coffee mixture over the top. Fill the remaining space with milk, and give it a quick stir. Top with whipped cream and ground cinnamon if desired and enjoy!

Notes

I usually don't add any toppings to this recipe, simply because I'm not a huge fan of toppings on my coffee! But you can easily add any of your favorite latte toppings,  whipped cream, ground cinnamon, and a caramel drizzle are all delicious.
 
To make super easy homemade whipped cream. Combine 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tbsps powdered sugar, and 3 tsp vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat using an electric mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Enjoy!
